5. Favorite flute piece (that you may have not
Hm, hard to say since there is much beautiful music out there... From what I have played I loved the "God rest ye merry gentlemen" Christmas carol duet I played this Christmas. I also look forward to play more Mozart, but I'm not sure what what flute pieces there are and which once are really nice. While waiting for this I enjoyed playing "Der Vogelfänger bin ja ich!" arrangement in 'Flöjtgodis.

6. Goals for the year?
Keep enjoying flute playing,
find a way to keep improving (am worried since it seems to be much harder to actually improve now compared to earlier.),
memorize more Christmas pieces next year.

I would rather be taking apart and fixing a flute rather than playing most of the time now. Animals are a huge part of my life. Competitive or uppity flute players irritate me. I have tried to play many different instruments but always get irritated with them and go right back to the flute. I am very crafty and get bored easily, I like to keep busy.
